#93 - Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell

What a delightful surprise this book was.  First of all a HUGE thank you to  my fellow Posse girl Mandi for recommending and letting me borrow this book.  I snuggled up on a lovely snowy day and read this whole thing in one (or two) sweet sessions.

Even though this is a YA selection, it brought back some crazy awesome memories and I had to turn on a little punk playlist because the mix tape selections put an earworm in my brain so deep that I needed a little dose of the Cure, the Smiths and the Dead Kennedys to put me in the mood.

I was instantly transported back to 1994 and holding hands with a cute boy that shouldn't have liked me on the bus to a band competition.  The visions this novel produced were so sweet and tender.  I only wish there were more - the last page was perfection.  Seriously.   Loved it.  Please read this.

Goodreads rating: 5 stars!!!  Finally breaking my chain of meh.
